In this article, we will be going over what we feel are the best budget-friendly Sony a6000 Minolta lens converters and adaptors on the market right now. With the Minolta lens range being popular but having no native way to work with the a6000 we constantly see people reaching out for assistance.
The first converter that we will be covering will allow you to use the Minolta MD Lens range with your a6000 and the second adaptor will allow you to use the Minolta AF Lens range with your camera. Both of the adaptors have been designed to seamlessly fit with your a6000’s E-mount without issue.

The Fotasy Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Converter
Although the adaptor is very budget friendly, it comes with the sets of metal threads rather than the plastic threads that are common on many budget adaptors. The metal threads help to reduce the chance of you accidentally cross threading the threads on either your Minolta lens or on your Sony A6000 and accidentally causing damage to your kit.

One thing that we would like to point out about using an adaptor is that some of the lenses in the Minolta MD range that offer autofocus capabilities may not work when using an adaptor to connect it to your a6000. This will leave you with having to use the manual focus ring on your lens having a direct effect on your run and gun photography capability but many photography niches will be largely unaffected.
Additionally, using an adaptor to connect your Minolta lens to your a6000 will not have a direct effect on your lenses low light capabilities and usually will not have any effect on its image quality. That said, we have seen a few reports from some older Minolta lens users suggesting they feel there was a very slight decrease in image quality when used.
The Fotasy Minolta MD Lens to Sony E-Mount Converter is not compatible with either the Sony A7II or the A7S but will work with the following Sony cameras:-

Again, the adaptor has an excellent build quality that comes with metal threads as standard to make it easy to mount the adaptor on your a6000 while also making it easy to attach your Minolta lens. None of the autofocus capabilities of your Minolta lens will work when using this adaptor though as it has no electrical contacts built into it. You will still be able to tweak the focus of your image though by using the manual focus ring on your lens as if it was a manual only lens.
